It worked, after a fashion, but I wouldn't do it again. I took a kitchen knife and slid it under the frets. They just lifted out. I used Polyfiller to fill the gaps. That was a good move because the white finish enabled me to see the fret marking on dark stages. Something I hadn't even thought about before hand! I wouldn't use super glue. IMO you need a process that can be reversed without causing too much damage, if you should change your mind later. These days I'd just buy a fretless bass. Have to add...the Framus Star Bass was my first bass too chris....but I knew of de fretting back then....or even thinking about it....seems you were ahead of your time!
